Disable touchpad tap to click?

I appreciate your response. However, I think to turn the touchpad on and off via fn+f2 is a lot easier to do vs. running xinput --disable|enable id. 

Fn+F2 is easier. However, if you save Marcus's script to your pinebook and make it executable, you can use xbindkeys (xbindkeys-gui for a GUI configurator) to trigger it from any hotkey combo you like. You'd just need to refine the script a bit more to add a toggle parameter, so you could have it simply toggle the state when called...

At least on the pinebook the mouse-off is available unlike some other more expensive notebooks--  the T61 for instance has no mouse-off actuator.

So Fn+F8 doesn't do it for you on the T61? Or does it not work because you're not running the support software for the touchpad which requires Windoze?
